You know jack sh!t about football officials and officiating, obviously.

If it was left up to us, we'd vote to have no one pass or kick the ball and that's about it.

But (a) it ain't left up to us, ( b) it's never going to be left up to us and (c) the last two things on earth we want is for there to be more penalties and more stoppages.

Most of us aren't control freaks. We're not frustrated ex-jocks. I've been at this five years and have yet to meet a martinet. There's simply nothing in it that's worth everything you have to go through if your goal is just to screw up a great game for kids who are 17-18 years old.

Anyone who was really like that wouldn't last long in this avocation because most people would simply refuse to work with him or her.

Because that's not what we're about.
